I Just Hope It Don’t Try and Kill Me Again This Time

Stay if you wanna
Leave if you don’t
But don’t you feel bad
If you’ve gotta move on with your life
Baby, I’ll survive

Because I’ve been homeless and broke
Bit by a spider
Cracked my head
Nearly drown in a river
Had a gun pulled on me because I was smart ass stupid

Been stalked in the woods
Battled depression
Almost hit by a train
Weathered isolation
And a long string of dead-end jobs at a minimum wage

And I guess what I’m trying to say is
Don’t you worry about me
Trouble’s an old friend of mine
I just hope it don’t try and kill me again this time

You ain’t the first
And you ain’t the last
And I know it true
That love’s gotta to move to survive
Baby, it’s alright

Because I’ve been sucked by a rip tide
Bent by hungers
Bloodied by stones
Lord, I drank tainted water
And wrestled demons during a manic breakdown

Had a knife at my throat
Broken my back
Wrecked two cars
Survived an earthquake
And the pain of my first love stomping my tender heart

And I guess what I’m trying to say is
Don’t you worry about me
Trouble’s an old friend of mine
I just hope it don’t try and kill me again this time

This time
This time
This time
